hello to any midwives out there!
i just got my BFP and by my best estimate i'm 4 weeks along.
just a couple of midwife related questions.
do you need to pick midwives associated with the hospital you are going to? or can midwives go anywhere with you.
how do you find midwives? are there agencies you can go to to meet with lots at once?
are midwives covered under private health?

Hello midwifery students and doulas! I'm Carrie I'm in melbournes west and due late July, this is my second baby and I'm looking for support during pregnancy and labour as I had a difficult delivery with my first baby but had a very low risk pregnancy with no complications throughout. Thanks!

Hi, Are you looking for a unique birth? I am pregnant with baby #8 due the end of March 2018. I am giving birth in the womens in Melbourne. I live in the south east inner suburbs of Melbourne. Looking for a student doula or midwife who can support me through labour. I normally have very long - over 24hrs of early labour. So will probably do best with a couple people to be on call to take turns to support me during labour.

I've read in a few places that you can contact the midwifery schools directly and that can be a good way of connecting with midwifery students who are seeking mums for their continuity of care practical work. In Victoria I think it's the ANU.
